RN10200 won't boot-up
Hi, I've an approximaly 2004/05 RN10200 ReadyNas model. Since last night it won't power off and boot properly. So when I pull out the power plug the NAS is, obvisouly, powered down. As soon...
If the boot menu isn't responding correctly, that does point to a likely need for USB recovery, When you say it didn't work, do you mean the recovery process didn't do anything (didn't access the USB drive and didn't power down at the end) or that the process worked and it didn't fix the problem?
If you boot with no drives, does RAIDar find the device and show a status of "No disks"? If it does, then USB recovery is less likiely to be the solution.
If the recovery didn't do anything, you need to try another USB device. It definately cannot be USB3, and smaller than 32GB is recommended. Under 8GB (which usually means it's older) is typically best.
Hi Sandshark,
thanks for the reply.
I will try a non USB3, somewhere I do have an ancient USB1 drive.
RAIDar didn't find the NAS, neither did a regular networscan.
That does point to a Flash/UBOOT issue. Definately try the USB recovery again with a non USB3 device. If it has an access LED, all the better. The LED should do more than a quick flash.
I tried different USB sticks.
With the USB1.0 I did see interaction, and it powered down when finished.
Although it didn't fix the problem. When powered on, it goes back to the problem.
All the leds are on, even when there are no disks inside. When I press the backup button, all led goes out except the power button.
I tried an USB2.0 stick, there was some interaction.
But the power and backup leds were constanly blinking, including the led on the USB.
I guess it couldn't read the stick and got stuck on it.
